How many more British troops have to die in Afghanistan?
Today it was announced that yet another British soldier has been killed in Afghanistan. Where is this all going to end? The only people who are going to suffer in this war are the troops who are sent there in the name of peace. There is no way on God's earth that they're going to defeat what can only be described as "an invisible enemy". The Taleban don't fight clean, how can we possibly compete against an enemy when you don't even know where they are most of the time?
Why they are sending soldiers out on foot patrols is something I just can't fathom out. This is tantamount to sending the troops out of the trenches in World War I. We are sitting ducks and they are just popping us off one by one. We are sending our troops out in flimsy vehicles that couldn't withstand a firework, let alone a huge roadside bomb.
Whilst our politicians are lining their pockets with our money, they are seriously neglecting our armed services. We haven't got anywhere near enough helicopters in Afghanistan. Lives are being lost because troops have to travel overland when it would be much safer to fly by air.
The majority of Afghans don't want us there anyway, as far as they are concerned, we have invaded their country and have just made things worse for a lot of them.
How many more troops do we have to see coming home in coffins before our stubborn government comes to its senses and pulls out of Afghanistan for good.
